The name of the GitHub repository. By default the name will be extracted from the URL of the remote specified in the remote option, and if that fails the dist name (from dist.ini) is used. It can also be in the form user/repo when it belongs to another GitHub user/organization.

The META homepage field will be set to the URL of the wiki of the GitHub repository, if this option is set to true (default is false) and if the GitHub Wiki happens to be activated (see the GitHub repository's Admin panel).

The META bugtracker web field will be set to the issue's page of the repository on GitHub, if this options is set to true (default) and if the GitHub Issues happen to be activated (see the GitHub repository's Admin panel).

The GitHub homepage field will be set to the value present in the dist meta (e.g. the one set by other plugins) if this option is set to true (default is false). If no value is present in the dist meta, this option is ignored.

This takes precedence over the metacpan, cpan and p3rl options (if all four are true, meta_home will be used).
